Ms Allen claims Amazon gave medical attention after her injury but bosses sent her home every day without pay because she was unable to work.

After nine months of wrangling with the company, she says she ended up with just ONE day’s paid leave.

She alleged she refused the firm’s offer of a buyout of only for $3,500 (£2,600), which meant she would have to sign a nondisclosure agreement to not say anything derogatory about Amazon or my experience.

Allen said she had found somewhere to live more permanently but needed money to pay the first month's rent and deposit.
